Title: Method and apparatus for volume rendering
Inventor: LI CEN
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2000-06-09
Abstract: In a volume rendering process, data including a plurality of voxels are recorded. Each voxel includes an opacity-adjusted value representative of a value of a parameter at a location within the volume. The process includes partitioning the plurality of voxels among a plurality of slices (2302), each slice corresponding to a respective region of the volume. Each slice is further partitioned into a plurality of cell (2304). Each cell represents a respective sub-region of the region associated with the slice. For each cell the process determines that the cell is nontransparent (2306) if more than a predetermined number of the voxels associated with the cell have an opacity-adjusted value greater than a predetermined value. Otherwise the cell is determined to be transparent. A texture value (2310) for each voxel for nontransparent cells only are stored, and the stored texture values are rendered.

Title: Secure system and method for subscriber profile customization
Inventor: BURGER ERIC W
IPC: H04L29/12
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: An enhanced service platform with secure system and method for subscriber profile customization including a subscriber service manager (120) and a customization module (128). The subscriber service manager is configured to receive subscriber transaction-ID requests, supply transaction identifiers and respond to queries for subscriber profile data. The customization module is configured to receive customization messages. When a customization message includes a transaction identifier, the customization module compares the transaction identifier in the customization message with the transaction identifier generated by the subscriber service manager. Only if there is a match between the transaction identifiers does the customization module register the customization data. Alternatively, if the customization message does not contain a transaction identifier but does contain a subscriber identifier, the customization module temporarily stores the customization data. When a subscriber logs on to the system and there is pending temporarily stored customization data, the customization module prompts the subscriber for authorization to register the temporarily stored data.

Title: Method and system for obtaining a discovered price
Inventor: CUSHING DAVID C
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A method and system for determining (100) an optimal price at which to perform a batch auction of financial assets. Orders, according to a variety of predetermined order types, are received from qualified market participants and communicated to an auction system according to the invention. The auction system takes into account each order and its impact upon relative supply and demand to determine by a preset algorithm an optimal price and share transaction quantity (101). The optimal price is selected by identifying a particular price at which trade volume would be maximized and which reflects the appropriate effect of supply and demand imbalances. Trades are executed at the optimal price, and portions of the transaction quantity are allocated to each investor on a fair basis dependent upon their submitted orders. In another aspect, the auction system includes a computer system and network designed to automatically perform one or more steps of the above method. Such a system is preferably connected to one or more ECNs such that non-executed shares can be automatically sent to outside sources for execution, and connected to real time quote services to obtain current market information.
